7. May 2017 doc.: IEEE P802.11-17-0591r2 Negotiation From among the discovered Responders, the STA selects a subset (Rn) for negotiation To each of the member of Rn, the STA sends an initial FTM request (iFTMR) which includes at least one of: A FTM Parameters element as described in REVmc D8.0 which is a set of parameters that the STA proposes to use if it executes the FTM ranging protocol with the corresponding responder, A NGP Parameters element which is a set of parameters that the STA proposes to use if it executes either the VHTz or the HEWz ranging protocol with the corresponding responder NGP Parameters elements may include an optional VHTz , an optional HEWz and/or an optional 11AYz subelement(s) Submission Slide 7 Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation Ganesh Venkatesan, Intel Corporation
